cyberdude611 -> Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 5:37:27 AM)
Maria Luisa is a UNLV student and wanted to ask Hillary Clinton a question concerning nuclear waste in the Yucca Mountains. But she said CNN forced her to ask a question about "diamonds and pearls" instead. This is what Luisa is saying on her MySpace page: "CNN ran out of time and used me to "close" the debate with the pearls/diamonds question. Seconds later this girl comes up to me and says, "you gave our school a bad reputation.' Well, I had to explain to her that every question from the audience was pre-planned and censored. That's what the media does. See, the media choose what they wanted, not what the people or audience really wanted. That's politics; that's reality. So, if you want to read about real issues important to America--and the whole world, I suggest you pick up a copy of the Economist or the New York Times or some other independent source. If you want me to explain to you how the media works, I am more than happy to do so. But do not judge me or my integrity based on that question." "Every single question asked during the debate by the audience had to be approved by CNN," Luisa writes. "I was asked to submit questions including "lighthearted/fun" questions. I submitted more than five questions on issues important to me. I did a policy memo on Yucca Mountain a year ago and was the finalist for the Truman Scholarship. For sure, I thought I would get to ask the Yucca question that was APPROVED by CNN days in advance." Yep, it looks like CNN truely is the "Clinton News Network." It seems wherever Hillary goes....something is planned and/or scripted. How can anyone vote for that fraud and her rapist husband? How much money do you want to bet that if CNN was approving and censoring the questions....that they fed them to the Hillary campaign before the debate? I'll bet money on that!! And to you people who think this student should have asked her question anyway...who wants to risk that? You might get tased like that dude in Florida was. http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/11/diamond_v_pearl_student_blasts_1.php

And people wonder where the vitriol and hate come from.This is where...

How many women have to accuse Bill before you admit the guy can't keep his hands to himself? How many more women have to come forward? Oh I forgot...it's all just a right-wing conspiracy....

pahunkboy -> RE: Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 6:01:02 AM)
The thing is- Hillary would have automatically had my vote; without thee tactics. Dennis Kucinich sounds like the only non-suit guy up there!

Owner59 -> RE: Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 6:28:39 AM)
Not so much a conspiracy,as a cottage industry. Each and every one of them is/was seeking money.Most got rich,or some other kind of consideration. During that time,his elected accusers were either involved in decade long affairs(w/ one person),or multiple affairs(gay and straight),or had a love child ,outside of their marriage. This was the beginning of the end, for the hypocrite wing of the republican party.Their leader,Newt Gingrich would leave politics in scandal and disgrace,having his own affair during that time. This is why people are discouraged and put off by politics.It`s not just the dirty tricks and mud throwing,it`s the hypocrisy.People can`t stand you calling someone an adulterer,while you`re having an affair yourself.Good god,did the republicans attacking Clinton, think they could fuck around themselves and not be called on it?Pa-a-a-leeze.... There`s a lot more money to be made, also. Kathleen Willy just wrote a book,claiming the Clintons killed her cat. Fox noise repeated the claim,and now a bunch of dopes(out in the public) are repeating it.This is just the beginning. As the election draws near,we`re going to see Bill Clinton re-bashed,and bashed again.All the old,ugly things will be said about him again.The "Hillary is gay,Hillary is a fake,Hillary is a bitch" crown, will be puking that pablum,ad nauseum. And of course Mr. 9/11(Rudy) will be made a saint,with all his sins washed.Ahhhh. lol

I could care less if Hillary is gay. I do feel bad for her in regards to her roving husband. That was so on HER, and not the congresses business. What will I vote for? The most NON-corporate person- even if it may be a protest vote. Funny enough- I dont think the country is fed up enough to cast protest votes en mass. Why? Well- if we had gas rationing, chocolate rationing- nylon rationing- as they did in ww2. Then maybe. We have jobs rationing. Commen sense rationing. Dissent rationing

Hillary is on her knees for the multi-nationals. Starting with Wal-Mart. Pass.

I'm always amused when people talk as if their vote is really counted and actually matters, when no-one can prove that to be the case.

Owner59 -> RE: Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 7:34:52 AM)
Hillary is on her knees for the multi-nationals. Starting with Wal-Mart. Pass. She`s in the middle of the road,with a mix of supporters.Both from the right/corporate side,and from the liberal/consumer side. She going to be criticized by both sides as well.Everything from the "supper liberal",all the way to cooperate hack and suck-up. Where actually,she`s neither.Her husband also took cooperate money,but was also supportive of and enforced consumer protection laws.She will too. Just taking corporate money, doesn`t mean you have to only cater to business interests.You need business and consumers,to make a society.One can recognize that and serve both sides.

quote: ORIGINAL: SugarMyChurro Hillary is on her knees for the multi-nationals. Starting with Wal-Mart. Pass. Churro, you got that right. She has more maney than any other candidate. She uses Silicon Valley like an ATM machine. And what do "they" want? Why more H1b visas so they can replace American workers with foreign workers who earn 1/3 of what they'd have to pay Americans. Gee, I wonder who Bill Gates is backing?

Hillary supports amnesty for illegal aliens. She is against a border fence. She is in favor of the Iraq war (said herself she doesn't see an end to it until at least 2013). She supports NAFTA which is responsible for the loss of countless millions of American jobs. She wants to increase government spending and increase taxes. So if you want more of the same....vote for Hillary. I think we need to end the dynasties. Put both the Clintons and Bushs under a rock somewhere. Im sick and tired of the same old recycled crap.

Zensee -> RE: Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 2:02:56 PM)
Didn't you bang this drum last week, cyber dude? Political candidates stack the questions they face in "forums" - gasp! - rather like GWB does in "press conferences" double gasp. Spinning the dial looking for a new tune, Z.

cyberdude611 -> RE: Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 2:10:28 PM)
Who says I support George W. Bush?

Zensee -> RE: Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 2:14:04 PM)
Not me - I just said it is a time honoured practice and one which the present regime makes plenty of hay with. And that this is old, old news. Z.

CollegeConundrum -> RE: Student claims CNN Democrat debate was scripted (11/17/2007 2:26:05 PM)
For some of you people, don't you think you should know what your candidate is for before you vote for them? Just a tip.

quote: ORIGINAL: Zensee Not me - I just said it is a time honoured practice and one which the present regime makes plenty of hay with. And that this is old, old news. Z. So I guess since Bush does it that makes it OK for everyone to do it? When candidates resort to these tactics...one thing comes to my mind....fake. Bush was a fake in 2000. And let me tell you right now....Hillary is a fake in 2008. Everything Hillary is doing is designed and scripted for one thing....to win. It has nothing to do with what she truely believes. She is going to take whatever issue she thinks she needs in order to win.

Put both the Clintons and Bushs under a rock somewhere. Im sick and tired of the same old recycled crap. I'm not a big fan of Hillary, by any stretch, but let's recognize the facts; NAFTA allowed other countries (specifically Mexico) to produce products for American distribution that caused American jobs to leave here (America) for foreign shores that American producers weren't willing to produce these same goods for. Now, whether we can all agree that that's true, we can certainly agree that Americans weren't willing to purchase those goods for prices that Americans were willing to manufacture them for....and other nations were. The evidence is solely in our purchasing habits. Had we all...in an enclave, opted to stand outside every Wal-Mart, True Value, Home Depot, Lowes....and every local chain with 10 stores or more decided to stand out there with our placards demanding that these stores bought products from American manufacturers...at some higher price than those manufactured by nations allowed to produce under NAFTA.... We'd have had a right to bitch. But we didn't. Those of you who have Tupperware, RubberMaid, and then Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and other candle(s) you've bought in the last 72 months, that have been made out of this country...you have no argument. Your 4th of July fireworks....(also not made here). Every one of the calendars that you've bought from Hallmark since 1996...has been manufactured outside of this country. And we've lost a few jobs in the process. Now.... Every one of you that thinks that the upcoming recession is going to affect you negatively as it has in every recession in the past....has a few new lessons coming. It will. But not quite in the the way you think. We've lost (depending on who's counting) between 250,000 and 750,000 jobs in this country since 1996, and today, due to NAFTA, CAFTA, and all the other outsourcing 5 letter acronyms...enough that it hurts. In the meantime, we've saved enough to pay for not only 2,500,000 jobs...in all the Chinese barbeques and Indian software we've purchased...but as well....another trillion in health care due to savings we've accumulated by not paying $115,000.00 to pay some young doctor to review your X-Rays....and paying some young (totally qualified) Indian doctor $27,500.00 to review the very same X-Rays. In the meantime, we've paid the Arabs another 29 kabillion. I'm constantly amazed at all the people who spend endless effort to arguing, bitching and complaining how our government, the world and everyone else (other than us of course) is out to get us....and I'm equally...and constantly amazed at how few of us stand up at the polls and say...."this ain't right...I can't accept this"...when in fact...the world's outsourcing has benefitted us substantially. And now my point; We've lost a substantial number of jobs. Indeed. And over the next 25 years we'll lose still more. But guess what? Because our world...indeed...our country has lost so many manufacturing jobs (which includes both data, software and absolutely...barbeques)....we'll lose less in a downturn. Yes...it's true. We'll do "less worse" (not "better") in the next downturn...because we'll have fewer manufacturing jobs to lose. That doesn't mean we'll do better in the next downturn...which most anticipate within the next 16 months, just less worse. The global economy has it's advantages. As it turns out....doing "less worse" in this day and age is an advantage. There are other advantages...some of which would surprise most as to our ability to stand taller in the world economy...but this one is one I'm confident few have considered. (Let the volcanic blasts begin!!!!).
